About the book
Acceleration is a high-octane novel featuring illegal street racing, mafias, and decisions that accelerate and spin out of control. Amanda, the ex-cheerleader, is trying to escape an image of herself. Andy, the drug-dealer, is rebelling against his CEO-daddy the best way he knows how. Natalie – the savvy mechanic quietly buries her pain. Jordie, whose debts leave him entangled with Jared, a ruthless mafia boss, and Brooke, Jordie’s girlfriend whose clutch is a little too sticky. Then there’s Axel – the self-loathing FBI agent who wants to be anywhere but here. Fast cars. Mafia ties. What could go wrong?

About the characters
I picked model stock-photos of people who look as similar to the characters as I saw them in my head. While these aren’t exact, it’s as close as I could hope for!
Amanda Carlisle
Amanda is an ex-cheerleader who has decided to enter the world of under-ground streetracing. She’s in over her head.
Andy Connors
Andy’s trying to escape the shadow of his CEO father the only way he knows how— by breaking the law.
Natalie Martinez
Natalie is a mechanic and street racer. Everything would be fine if her ex-boyfriend would stop trying to come back into her life.
Axel Wariloe
Axel is undercover gathering intel about the mafia. He’d rather be anywhere but here.
Jordie Vodheo
Amanda’s high school boyfriend, and an avid street racer. Jordie’s dug himself in too deep financially with the mob.
Brooke Evans
The opposite of daddy’s little girl. Brooke will do anything for Jordie, even if that means pulling a trigger.
